Shipping PodCast

Words are powerful Have you ever been the subject of a dissertation? The first 63 episodes of the Shipping Podcast laid the groundwork for an extensive research project, and now is the time to unveil the results. It's been eight years since Therese Canning contacted me to discuss her study. She mentioned using the interviews from this platform to explore what individuals in the maritime industry were discussing and who voiced opinions on sustainability.  Since then, Therese has conducted further research and has now been awarded her PhD, following additional studies on the criminalisation of seafarers.  Listen to Therese as she shares her conclusions. This episode is part of the history of the Shipping Podcast's ten years, illustrating how everything has evolved, both in terms of industry trends and how the podcast has transformed into something unique. What are your takeaways from this episode? I would love to hear from you! hello@shippingpodcast.com  Until next time; over & out.

Who leaves the maritime industry?  Meet Emma Mark, Executive Coach at EJB Coaching. She left the maritime industry for a while but has returned to contribute with her experience and knowledge. We discuss our similar experiences as women in the maritime industry and share the good and the bad. What is the current role model when entering the industry? Has it changed, or do we need to take action to make it less traditional and moulded after its predecessors? Are women in the maritime industry clear about what they want to achieve? Can we better support each other? Where are the men who share our vision? "You can check out but never leave". That also goes for the maritime industry.  Thank you for listening.

Homecoming 250, the celebration of the US Navy and US Marine Corps’ 250th anniversaries   Mark your calendar for October 9 -16, 2025, to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps in their birthplace - Philadelphia and the Delaware River - as a grand opening event of the Semiquincentennial of the United States.  In episode 252, George S Leone, the President and Chair of Homecoming 250, presents the entire project, how it came about and what to expect.   For the Navy 250th, Homecoming 250 plans to assemble for touring ships from both historical and current. For the Marine Corps 250th, Homecoming 250 intends to host the 100th Marine Corps Ball, where the 1st Ball was held, and celebrate at the site of Tun Tavern, the birthplace of the Marines. You can read about it here: https://www.homecoming250.org/, but you must listen to George first. He is the Mastermind behind the celebration leading up to America’s 250th anniversary in 2026.

Shall I stay or should I go?  I am working my way through big decisions. Should I continue podcasting when I reach the tenth-anniversary next summer, or should I stop? How do I take the Shipping Podcast to the next level if I continue? There are so many things to consider moving forward.  I am strategising, so I haven't had time to make new interviews. I am talking about why this is happening now.  What do you think? Can you help me reach a decision?  Drop me an email at hello@shippingpodcast.com  I appreciate your patience. Lena
